The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

The Stones are playing Anfield in early June and I thought it might be good to go. Just a passing interest and not desperate. I got on to the website easily. The cheapest available ticket is £375! Come on guys whatever happened to rock 'n' roll? I can't believe you need the cash.

Saturday July 5th 1969 the day before my 15th birthday. I was in Hyde Park with at least 300,000 others. Saw nothing. Heard everything. Who needs to shell out £375?

In days gone by I slept on The Headrow, Leeds for tickets to see Dylan. One each, probably a fiver. Eventually we were given numbered tickets and sent away and told to come back later and get in the right place in the queue. It worked. That was '78.

Did the same in '95 to see Rovers win the PL at Anfield. Slept under the stand at Ewood to have a spot in the queue.

Heady days of youth.

I can't believe they are still going. Do they have to be wheeled onto the stage in wheelchairs. Sometimes enough is enough and they are well past their sell by date.

As you can tell, I never was a fan of them.

I've always been a fan but you're right, they are well past their sell by date and should have retired years ago.

I have hoovered. I might need to lie down! Housework goes along with gardening in my book........best avoided until unavoidable.

Mrs Tenkaykev’s late mum is at rest just around the corner from Brian in Cheltenham Cemetery. We do pop over to say hello when we visit.

Careful girl. You don't want to overdo it now.

I like this idea of pressing the New Posts button. Really should have tried it years ago.

Housework going well. First machine load online, white wash on, tea prepared, tidying complete, beds changed, hoovering and dusting next.

I make a damn good househusband wife 😅 Mrs P was once heard to remark "I already have a cleaner!!!!"

Now. Are we all familiar with the concept of a "boy look?" I feel sure @welsh dragon will be. So Mrs P has "mislaid" her glasses, padded jacket and bank card. I decided I'd do some looking while tidying etc.

I found Mrs P's purse on the backroom table. Hmmmmm I thought. Peaked inside. YEAH!!!!!!

This is the high ground for at least 12 months.

Spoiler: Keep trying!

There are even more digits than that!

Grab the graphic with your finger/mouse and wiggle it up and down rapidly. (Obviously not obscuring the number!)

26 mile done on the bike, sun shining through, not as windy as of late, all in all a nice ride.

Doing a circular route though you keep meeting the same cyclists doing the same route the opposite way round.

There was a lot of Deja Vu this morning!

Braised beef for us today

Fabulous Spring day here, been out for a little ride, first time in three-quarters this year. Very pleasant indeed.

My new gilet is on its way over from the Amazon depot in Rochdale. It should be here by about 14:30. I will wait in for it then test it on a little bike ride. I'll probably get to the station too late for a Metro but no big deal.

I am also getting a guitar strap so I can be a crap player standing up rather than a crap player sitting down!

It is nice being able to catch up on buying stuff that I couldn't afford pre-pension. I already bought a bike chain and a pair of Ron Hill Tracksters earlier in the week.
